Shiv Sena: What Rahul Gandhi said is laughable, but true

Mumbai, Oct 29: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently. While Opposition and other political leaders and the Muslim community were bashing Gandhi for his recent ISI statement, he found support from an unexpected source.

In a report carried out by DNA on Monday, it said that Shiv Sena's paper Saamna carried out an editorial that many found to be surprising.

The paper, which is edited by party President Uddhav Thackeray, said that Rahul's statements were 'mostly laughable, but he had 'unknowingly spoken the truth.'

"There is no need to be shocked about the truth the Yuvaraj has spoken about the fundamentalist Muslims in the country," read an editorial in the paper.

The editorial said that ISI's involvement was seen in every communal riot and terrorist activity in the country. It also said that the ISI was involved in turning the Muslim youth into fundamentalists and was using them for anti-national activities.

The editorial pointed out to examples of Memon brothers, Abdul Karim Tunda and Yasin Bhatkal, who were all linked to the ISI.

However this is no the first time Shiv Sena is pointing out to ISI activities in the country. Earlier late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray too had mentioned about to ISI activities in India.
